About this episode
Amanda and Linda are twin sisters that HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF each other. Amanda is KIND OF a chill person, but Linda is quite the opposite. Amanda always accuses Linda that she MAKES A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL. However, Linda accuses her sister that she is always indifferent and that she NEVER MINDS anything. But since both of them have a common project to deliver, things are getting even harder. Linda thinks that everything MAKES A DIFFERENCE and that their work should be ON THE DOT. That’s why she constantly BRINGS UP the presentation and asks her sister to do her part before the due date. But unfortunately, no one can PREVAIL UPON Amanda to not RUN OVER the project and present OFF THE CUFF. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/support
